Domo Music Group Announces New Imprint Los Angeles, CA - Emerging from LA’s underground experimental electronic music scene Appogee aka Jay Skinner is set to release his first full-length album entitled Unconscious Ruckus on Kanpai Records, a new imprint for Domo Music Group on September 28, 2004. Appogee is a familiar name in the southern California scene where he has performed alongside the likes of Dntel (The Postal Service), Planktonman (Nortec Collective), and The Mutaytor. He is a highly skilled composer/producer with almost a decade of studio experience, working in both professional music recording and post-production facilities. A combination of song, synthesis and sound, Appogee pushes the boundaries of sonic exploration and deftly combines the art of songwriting with forward thinking musical collages. Avant-garde electronic artistry at its finest, Unconscious Ruckus captivates audiences with its beautiful display of chaotic rhythms and blissful melodies. Organic, human subtleties intertwine with sophisticated programming and composition, resulting in a unique and refreshing sound that keeps Appogee’s fan base growing. Born in Houston, Texas, in his early teens he found an outlet by playing guitar and embracing the technical side of music recording. As his musical talents grew and passion became obsession, he obtained a scholarship to Texas State University where he earned a B.A. in Sound Recording Technology and a minor in music. Real-life experience playing in bands, working in recording studios and producing local acts honed his abilities and confirmed his direction. Soon, there was no choice but to head to LA to make music his career. During the last several years on the west coast, Appogee has already had a very successful solo career, helping to score two feature films, including The Mothman Prophecies, and Rules of Attraction and helping to produce local acts as well as countless television commercials including Sprint (2004 Summer Olympics), Hummer H2, Dell, Cadillac, Dove, Burger King, Target, Bud Light and more. Established in 1994, Los Angeles-based Domo Music Group, is guided by founder Eiichi Naito's mission, "To provide a home for both the creators and aficionados of quality music beyond the borders of categorization.” Staying true to this mission, this month Domo is launching its new imprint, Kanpai Records. This new label will focus on electronic and indie rock hybrids - plus everything in between. "We want to put out music that encompasses the best of all worlds… nothing too genre specific, but rather the gray space in between," says Michelle Ogata, Kanpai's Marketing Director. Kanpai’s first three albums are due for release in Fall 2004 and include Unconscious Ruckus by Appogee, Filters by Peas and Reinterpretations by various artists. Appogee has a remix on Reinterpretations, the new album featuring remixes of the legendary Japanese composer/musician Kitaro. Also, for those in the Los Angeles area, Appogee will be performing live at the Third Eye Gathering art and music festival on August 27, 2004 and at the Echo on September 20, 2004. # # # For more information or to interview Appogee please contact Lynn Hasty at Green Galactic at 323-466-5141 or lynn@greengalactic.com.
"Uncounscious Ruckuss flows from mellow flowerchild music to tight and hard-edged electronic rhythms with screaming guitar; creative, unpredictable, melodic and very enjoyable." - Pat Murphy, KXLU "Indie rock abducted by aliens" - edIT "Redeeming electronic music from its undeserved, and hopefully soon to be dead, stigma of being 'without soul'" - Phthalocyanine |
